this guy: how embarrassing.it's also sad that when it was being filmed, no one thought to tell him "you don't have to over do it..they'll get the point.."now he lives forever in internet infamy.

I don't think he was very convincing as an ANTI masturbation poster boy.

It looked like he'd had quite a bit of practice.

Sea Breeze, pay no attention to Syd.

Some people are just crazy. And that's how it goes.

He's just a lost soul swimming in a fish bowl year after year.

He keeps running over the same old ground, and what's he found?

The same old fears.

And is he happy there alone?

No!

He wishes you were here.

"Losing my Religion" was REM, Sea Breeze.

That's my vote as well.

Hi, all. I haven't checked in for awhile and decided to do so today.

Great job on locating Tony Morris!

It's so miserably hot today in suburban DC. 97 degrees F plus crazy humidity giving us a heat index of 105 F! That's 36 and 40 C!

The grid is struggling. I have not signed up for those smart thermostats that the power company uses to cycle your equipment, and there's been no brownouts so far.

Just hanging out inside in the air conditioning with the ceiling fans going so I can keep the temp slightly warmer than the usual indoor temperature. Not using the oven, washer or dishwasher. Fingers crossed that my electric bill won't be astronomical.

How's everyone doing this summer? Surviving in the northeast? I shouldn't complain because this is our first spell of really hot weather and you folks to the west have been suffering for much longer!

Just checking on everyone! Stay cool!

Breaking News: Anthony Morris III no longer serving on the Governing Body

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.

this is not a joke.

I remember an age cap for Circuit Overseers..

Wasn't it at the same time District Overseers were phased out?

And near the time of the Great Layoffs at Bethel?

My tentative thesis is that it was to thin the ranks of bloated upper management. It was a money saving slimdown.

They are having trouble keeping elders, so I don't think they had a reason to limit elders' ages.

Anyone here from Pennsylvania?

by Biahi in

the acting attorney general just announced 5 more jws arrested for csa.

one is still at large (wanted).

and, he is an elder.

GrreatTeacher

I still have family there though I live in Maryland.

I grew up in a circuit where some of this abuse allegedly happened.

The PA Attorney General has made more arrests. They have chosen to pursue this by pouring in a lot of time and resources which can make the difference between justice being served or not.

One perp killed himself rather than turn himself in.

The AG is breathing down every congregation in the state's necks. Elders should be scared. This will not go away quietly.

A question about pedophilia

by joao in

i've been absent for a while, because i've been focusing more in helping portuguese readers know the truth about jw.

we're trying to form an association in portugal to help people abused by religious and non-religious organisations.

i've also been trying to get a little away of these issues because my life has been really complicated since i slammed the door on jw's face!.

GrreatTeacher

The Attorney General for Pennsylvania has made a press announcement about the arrests of JW pedophiles from the state and their intention of pursuing these cases where "young children who went to church to pray were instead preyed upon."

About 10 people have been arrested. One perpetrator ran and shot and killed himself rather than face the consequences.

Every congregation in Pennsylvania has been ordered to produce any and all evidence of child sexual abuse that had been reported to them going back to 1987.

Every elder should be and probably is shitting his pants right now. The Attorney General is on this hard and is not backing down. Pedophiles themselves have already been arrested, but what should concern every elder is that they will be looking for the hiding of knowledge of pedophiles that allowed abuse to continue.

This made the local television news from Harrisburg. You may be able to find it by doing a search on you tube for Harrisburg, PA Attorney General Jehovah's Witness Child Sexual Abuse Arrests.

This hit the old home territory, York County. You could add that into the search. There was at least one arrest there.
